PALLADIUM-CATALYSED SYNTHESIS OF PYRIMIDINES

摘要

Satisfactory yields of 4-substituted pyrimidines and bicyclic pyrimidines are produced from alpha-methyl or alpha-methylene ketones when reacted with formamide and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) or a 1:2 mixture of palladium(II) acetate and triphenylphosphine as catalysts.Under the same reaction conditions pyridines or imidazole are formed from 1,3- or 1,2-diketones.
